RCA Animation like many other courses, has gone remote and we are all adapting to our new learning/teaching conditions as best we can. Contrary to common belief, not all animators are solitary beings so we’d like to use our platform here to encourage some collective viewing.
We’ll be posting daily recommendations for shorts that we hope will bring comfort, distraction or inspiration in these uncertain times. So join us in watching this beautiful film from our wonderful tutor Bunny Schendler @BSchendler : The World of Interiors https://vimeo.com/33879192 ">https://vimeo.com/33879192&...
Today& #39;s viewing suggestion is from 2nd year Sanjana @SanjanaC22 , who is busy acclimatising to her new work space and figuring out how to continue with her upcoming grad film. It& #39;s & #39;Big Surf& #39; by Brian Smee - a captivatingly creative response to tragedy. https://vimeo.com/259622029 ">https://vimeo.com/259622029...
Thank you @andiconcha for today& #39;s viewing. It& #39;s an excerpt from the Eames& #39; & #39;View From the People Wall& #39; and it& #39;s brilliant! Andi is one of our 2nd years now working in isolation from Madrid. We miss her and we hope to see her back in London before too long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th01bam8ENg&t=12s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Another of our 2nd years, @juliangallese would like to share one of his favourite animations EVER with us all. It& #39;s Amy Lockhart& #39;s & #39;Walk for Walk& #39;. While you& #39;re here, take a look at Julian& #39;s own beautiful work. Treat yourself, it& #39;s Friday! https://amylockhart.ca/animations/walk-for-walk/">https://amylockhart.ca/animation...
From this morning, in London at least, the days seem a little longer. That means (go with it) more time for collective viewing. So as a special treat, we& #39;ve got not one but two recommendations for you...
Our lovely tutor @EdwinRostron, has shared many beautiful, fascinating, sometimes bizarre films with us over the past two years, and for us today he& #39;s chosen something mesmerising. It& #39;s from @CalArts& #39; wonderful Jordan Wong, and it& #39;s & #39;Mom& #39;s Clothes& #39;, enjoy! https://vimeo.com/264003897/d4e4b17498">https://vimeo.com/264003897...
Check back this evening for your second dose.
Our 2nd film for today is the delicately drawn & #39;Driftless& #39; by Jonah Primiano @jonah_online, another hugely talented animator from @CalArts.

Today& #39;s choice has been a huge inspiration for @Joumana59193922& #39;s upcoming grad film, an autobiographical animated documentary about her relationship with the drawn line growing up in Saudi Arabia and her native Syria. It& #39;s Daniel Greaves& #39; & #39;Manipulation& #39; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6GfVjlD32E&list=PLr57Fp6G5T1UvyiTiig6ZC6hVwNEx64EZ&index=3&t=558s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Joe would like to point out he was only joeking when he said we should play all of his films on repeat for the foreseeable future. We think it& #39;s only fair that he be allowed to pick today& #39;s film too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym8JTVNXNCQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch... a brill music video for Von Spar by Christopher Marquez

Some days 1 collective viewing just isn& #39;t enough of a distraction so we have another double for you today. First, from our HoP Suzanne, a zoom-in microcosm, having in mind the daily limited walks we are allowed in lockdown - George Griffin& #39;s & #39;Block Print& #39; https://vimeo.com/325031933 ">https://vimeo.com/325031933...
Although not technically a & #39;short& #39; (time is an illusion n all that) our 2nd viewing for today is more of a zoom-out. A journey into the scintillating mind-universe of Noam Chomsky in Michel Gondry& #39;s & #39;Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?& #39; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv66xFD7s7g">https://www.youtube.com/watch... Thanks for these Suzanne!
Today& #39;s collective viewing is, we hope, an uplifting watch. It& #39;s a film to see again and again. A gentle reminder of the value of kindness and a welcome embrace of the erratic glitch. Thanks Tim Webb for choosing & #39;Ugly& #39; by Nikita Diakur & Redbear Easterman https://vimeo.com/281529369 ">https://vimeo.com/281529369...
